It only takes five minutes to know this movie is garbage. If you keep watching more than that, is at your own risk. You've been warned.
Bad acting, bad writing. Aesthetic over substance.
Horrible, forgetable, unbearable, unwatchable.
Save your time, your money, your life, your everything.
STAY AWAY FROM THIS.

24 Hour Party People
(2002)
Some kind of time machine.
3 September 2011
24 Hour Party People is a film that perfectly captures the spirit of an era. For those who have been born some years after that period, or those who have not reached to live it fully (including me), 24 hour party people becomes a kind of historical document.
The film tells the story of Factory records, in a mock-documentary style. How it arose, how it established, and finally its debacle.
Steve Coogan delivers an excellent job in the role of Tony Wilson and Andy Serkis on the other hand makes an exceptional portrait of a lost genius as was Martin Hannet.
Without a doubt, the job of Micheal Winterbottom is one of the most original I've seen. It is a strange narrative between observation and integration of the viewer. In some points the main character take us into the story and even gives us some hints of future events. The film shows us its own cinematic mechanism in order to include us in it. A blend of past, present and future, where Tony Wilson knows he is making history.
Finally, as Steve Coogan says, 24 Hour Party People is a movie about music, about that period in particular and what it gave to the world. The characters involved are only secondary elements which belonged to that spirit.
Music lovers, enjoy it. And those who are not so, take a sit, relax, and open your mind to a new form of cinema. You won't regret.
I hope you enjoyed this review. See you next time.

Vanishing on 7th Street
(2010)
It could have been a good one.
1 September 2011
Brad Anderson's previous works as SESSION 9 and THE MACHINIST were good examples of originality and good suspense, that kept the audience attentive on what would be the outcome.
In this case, the premise is simple but very attractive: the people, except a few, have disappeared.
The film begins by posing the situation and presenting those who will be the protagonists throughout the film. As it progresses the suspense grows, characteristic of Anderson's movies, but, at some point, the plot leads to a common idea that fails to surprise and, from my point of view, it only works in one way.
In general terms, is an entertaining movie, with good cinematography, but fails to achieve certain objectives. Anyway, there will be people who will like it and people who will not. It's Just a matter of view and draw your own conclusions.
I hope you enjoy this review. See you next time.

Priest
(2011)
The Forgettable Priest.
31 August 2011
Warning: Spoilers
If you take vampire genre films and zombie movies, you'll find something in common between them. It's too difficult to make something original and good with this two genres.
And Priest, sadly, is one of those forgettable movies. First of all, it's too short and acts are no well developed. When you think the second act is starting, you're really in the end. The acting is poor and the dialogs are too clichés. The story...well...it's a vampire movie. And last, the CGI. Hollywood is abusing of CGI in this last years, taking the Jurassic Park CGI (A.K.A Computer Graphic Images) to Priest CGI (A.K.A Cheap Garbage Images)
So, as I said before, a forgettable movie. And, If a second one comes, it probably will go straight to video. See it, only if you don't have anything boring to do.

Vengeance
(2009)
A disappointment
26 December 2010
I saw this movie trailer and i thought "this must be what Max Payne wasn't". The storyline was pretty cool "A french man looking for revenge in a foreign country", even the poster looks cool and promises a very dark violent movie.
But no. This movie is full of clichés, full of slow motion scenes, trying to make the assassins look cool. Too much fantasy for a revenge movie. Or you could think, this movie must be like Death Wish, but, again, no. Death Wish still rules on revenge movies. So this one can be easily forgotten.
This movie doesn't provide anything new.
